Book Description
As the 20th century began, swamps with immense timber resources covered much of the Missouri Bootheel. After investors harvested the timber, the landscape became overgrown. The conversion of swampland to farmland began with small drainage projects but complete reclamation was made possible by a system of ditches dug by the Little River Drainage District--the largest in the U.S., excavating more earth than for the Panama Canal. Farming quickly took over. The devastation of Southern cotton fields by boll weevils in the early 1920s brought to the cooler Bootheel an influx of black and white sharecroppers and cotton became the principal crop. Conflict over New Deal subsidies to increase cotton prices by reducing production led to the 1939 Sharecropper Demonstration, foreshadowing civil rights protests three decades later.

Book Description
BOOTS & Booties Riding, Roping and Ranching are part of cowboy life. Diapers, Pacifiers and Baby Bottles are not! The last thing Jed Monroe wanted on his ranch was a beautiful woman and her children. But he couldn't abandon Abby Andrews, so he hired her on as the new cook. Abby needed the money to repair her car, pack up her family and leave. That's also what Jed wanted—at first. No matter how often he told himself ranching life wasn't for a city woman like Abby, or that he wasn't daddy material, Jed found himself getting up at night to soothe her baby's cries. And that's not all he wanted to do late at night…. Not when he looked into Abby's eyes, pulled her against his hard body, kissed them both senseless and thought about never letting go….

Book Description
"Martín Espada ....forges a new poetic language."—Dennis Loy Johnson, Pittsburgh Tribune In his sixth collection, American Book Award winner Martín Espada has created a poetic mural. There are conquerors, slaves, and rebels from Caribbean history; the "Mayan astronomer" calmly smoking a cigarette in the middle of a New York tenement fire; a nun staging a White House vigil to protest her torture; a man on death row mourning the loss of his books; and even Carmen Miranda.
